Just wanted to see if anyone else experienced this problem, luckily enough the batteries in the 530e are covered by a 6 year or 100,000 km warranty and is being replaced free of charge.

Started the car as normally and within 5 mins I got the following notification's on the I drive.

Full power wasn't available and there was a loud whistle noise from the engine when I accelerated.

Anyone else experienced anything like this. Car will be with bmw for the next 4 weeks waiting on a new battery pack to arrive from Germany.

Cheers

I had a bad cell and BMW replaced the entire battery pack. I was only delayed about a week.

It sounds more like a software issue regarding the cooling of the batteries but...what do I know?

Hello,

I’ve been trying to find someone who had this same issue. I’m currently going through the same thing. Do you recall which battery in particular was the issue? Was it the hybrid battery or one of the other batteries?

Thank you!
